About Shared Philosophy

The Shared Philosophy collection is made by women for women. SP comes from women who are having and sharing the same ideology. The SP garments are produced in family workshops, owned, operated and managed by Thai women. These dressmakers are part of Lacia’s philosophy; they share her love for community, sustainability and quality.

With the collection, SP supports the women who have established a base in Thai society of pattern making and tailoring. When you purchase a piece of SP, you are supporting women less fortunate than yourself.

“We are working with women we know and their families depend on us. We work together on fair terms, developing a working relationship where we all benefit and grow our mutual business.  We visit the shops where the garments are made and we speak directly to the women who make the garments. An important part of SP is the brand value we built around supporting these women and their families”

 SP uses natural fabrics that are long lasting, therefore more sustainable. From hand loomed raw silk from Nepal to high quality fabrics from Japan and beautifully designed linen and cotton knits from Korea, Lacia carefully handpicks materials to design and make her SP garments .

“Natural fabrics feel better against your skin, are stronger, last longer and thereby you consume less by wearing them”. We use high quality materials made by trusted manufacturers. SP pieces are finished with a great attention to details and drape well on the body. Seams, hems, lining – we know that these are all important elements that affect the final product”.

SP is also dedicated to supporting Thai women entrepreneurs by teaching them how to run their business by international standards, how to implement processes, secure timelines and incorporate the very important customer feedback.

Next on the SP mission list is to create a financial literacy course to teach Thai women tailors and entrepreneurs to become financially savvy so that their learnings have an exponential ripple effect on their families and their communities at large!
